We invite Ph.D. students, master’s students, final-year undergraduates, and postdocs worldwide from all backgrounds to CAMP@Pune. At this intensive 17-day course, students will be trained in theoretical and computational modeling of memory and plasticity in the brain, spanning different scales of space, time, and complexity. This year’s flavor of CAMP will be Networks across scales<\/strong>. The course will include lectures, hands-on tutorials, and projects geared towards providing a thorough introduction to the exciting and interdisciplinary field of computational neuroscience. Accommodation and meals will be covered for the participants.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Networks Across Scales<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The metaphor of the brain as a loom originates with Charles Sherrington, who famously wrote, \u201cSwiftly the brain becomes an enchanted loom, where millions of flashing shuttles weave a dissolving pattern\u2014always a meaningful pattern, though never an abiding one.\u201d His evocative words capture the fleeting yet purposeful nature of brain activity. The image of a loom suggests a mechanistic underpinning to what often feels like a magical process. Notably, the Jacquard loom\u2014an early precursor to modern computing with its punch card system that heralded the binary logic foundational to today\u2019s computers. The inverted head in the poster alludes to the 1937 depiction by Penfield and Brody of the homunculus, represented upside down to reflect the brain\u2019s somatotopic map.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Pune is one of seven IISERs located across the country. These institutes incorporate cutting-edge research in science and humanities into their teaching programs. We are situated in the city of Pune, which is steeped in history and culture. The city has witnessed the rise and fall of dynasties, the birth of the feminist movement in India, and significant events in the Indian freedom movement. Every nook and cranny of the old city still bears memories of the heroes and villains of history. We are approximately an hour’s drive from the fabled Western Ghats, a biodiversity hotspot, and a UNESCO world heritage site. The ghats will be colored rain-drenched green in July, a perfect time to explore. <\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
